Do you enjoy serving with friendly people?
Are you ready to make a difference in Culver City serving our neighbors?
Together: We are partnering with the non-profit Grace Diner to organize and host a fall resource day for Grace Diner's unhoused community . We love the work they have been doing to help provide resources and support for our financially unstable and unhoused neighbors.
What: Being friendly and ready to serve are the main requirements!
Why this project matters: Our unhoused neighbors will be able to access service and alleviate their suffering.
When we work with fellow volunteers to meet the urgent needs of neighbors, our entire community benefits.
Wear: Please wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit dirty. Wear closed-toe shoes and leave your jewelry and bags at home. If you've volunteered with us before, feel free to wear your Better Angels T-shirt to show your support!
Tools: We will provide all necessary supplies.
Age: All ages are welcome. We will have family-friendly activities.
